Social media has emerged as a popular and easy platform for celebrities to connect with their fans. Apart from just interacting with the fans, film industry personalities also use spaces like Twitter and Instagram express their opinions and views. However, the ugly side of it is that both, celebrities, and those who achieve social media fame end up using their handles to spew venom, or post unacceptable things. The removal of Vikas Pathak aka Hindustani Bhau’s accounts from both Instagram and Facebook being the latest example. But it is not just him, as others famous persons have also misused their fame. We take a look at some of them: Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter account was suspended in April 2020 due to a few controversial tweets and rules violations. Rangoli, who is also the manager and spokesperson of the national award-winning actor, tweeted about a stone-pelting incident that took place in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. She had said that those responsible for attacking the doctors should be shot. Her tweet was flagged by several celebrities for inciting religious hatred. Popular B-town personalities like Farah Khan Ali, Kubra Sait, and Reema Katgi reported her account, apart from tagging various handles like that of the Mumbai Police, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, urging them to take action against the post which eventually lead to the suspension of her social media profile.
